Evening Events 2012

 
For del­eg­ates on the full XML Sum­mer School pack­age, the 3-day or 2-day courses, we have included a num­ber of social events in the even­ing so that people have time to relax and exper­i­ence some of the delights Oxford has to offer. The social events provide the ideal plat­form for net­work­ing with your fel­low del­eg­ates or extract­ing inform­a­tion from the speak­ers on a one-to-one basis. Many past del­eg­ates will tell you that the net­work­ing and learn­ing exper­i­ences out­side the lec­ture room are as valu­able as the teach­ing inside. This year the events will include:
  • Sunday 16th: A wel­come recep­tion in the his­toric Old Din­ing hall in the Front Quad at St Edmund Hall, start­ing at 7 pm.
  • Monday 17th: punt­ing down the River Cher­well, fol­lowed by din­ner at the college.
  • Tues­day 18th: Col­lege din­ner fol­lowed by a tour of some his­toric sites and a num­ber of Oxford’s his­toric pub­lic houses (a.k.a. a pub crawl).
  • Wed­nes­day 19th: Col­lege din­ner fol­lowed by uncon­fer­ence ses­sions, where Fac­ulty mem­bers and del­eg­ates have the chance to dis­cuss up-to-the-minute issues, or con­tinue dis­cus­sions from the day’s sessions.
  • Thursday 20th: Dress up for a formal candlelit din­ner in the col­lege at 7 pm.
